Sugar Bowl 1850

This silver sugar bowl, created by John C. Moore in 1850, is a fine example of American silversmithing. It is adorned with intricate grapevine designs, a motif common in 19th-century American silver. The inscription on the bowl highlights its intended purpose, acknowledging the silver's origin in New England and its maker's skill. Now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the bowl is a testament to the craftsmanship of the era.
